I dont own song or naruto

Three years ago...

It was just yesterday Sakura's village was destroyed by Sound. She felt helpless and weak because she couldn't defend her loved ones

'maybe I should leave to get stronger...'

'Yeah! Then we can come back looking AWSOME and they would respect us!!' Inner Sakura said.

'Maybe...'

Sakura walked out of her two story home dressed in black and came face to face with her teammates Sasuke and Naruto. They were both sitting on the floor with their heads bent low, you could tell Naruto was crying.

She went up to them and took their hands. They looked up immediately.

"Do you know why we fall?" They looked at her with confusion written all over their faces

"It's so we learn to get back up again." And with that she pulled them to their feet and lead them to the funeral.

Present day...

That memory is stilled carried with her today. In fact, many memories do. Some good, some bad and...some painful.

Sasuke had been back for a month now and and Sakura had been avoiding him.

But Ino, being the helper she is dragged her out to Karaoke Night at one of her favorite clubs.

"Ino. It's late and I'm tired can't I just go home!" Sakura complained.

" nope you Have to sing ONE song then you can leave!" Ino said as she went up to go dance with some random guy.

"Fine" She grumbled.

She went up to the mike and a song started to play. She immediately recognized the tune. She smiles to herself.

Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind
Images

You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick

I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Images

And when you left you kissed my lips
You told me you would never let forget these images, no

I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine
Did I make it that easy
To walk right in and out of my life?

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

When she finished the song she ran out of the bar crying. When Sakura was about to turn the corner, strong, protective arms shot out and held her in an embrace.

She gasped and turned around to be greeted by the same face that had reminded her of the song she had just sung.

"We don't have to be almost anymore." He wispered.
